Teiger Foundation: Curator Call for Proposals

We’re thrilled to announce our 2024 Grantees! Awarded to 50 contemporary art curators at 33 institutions across the US, our 2024 grants fund curatorial research, single projects, hosting touring shows, and three years of programming at small organizations.

With many of the awarded projects realized through partnerships, collaborations, and shared leadership models, the grants also platform historically underrepresented perspectives and strong new voices in the field.

Through our new Climate Action for Curators program, a subset of the grantees will receive additional funding and coaching support to embed climate consciousness into their Teiger-funded project or organization.

“Curators define the meaning and relevance of their visual art institutions in ways that are not always acknowledged, and their work is more complex and demanding than ever,” says our Executive Director, Larissa Harris. ”Along with funding to realize their projects, we hope these grants help others recognize the value of their work.”

We invite US-based contemporary art curators to submit their proposals by January 28, 2025, at 5:00 pm EST.

We offer grants in four categories:

— Up to $150,000 for single projects led by curators at organizations of all sizes

— Up to $150,000 for curators planning three years of programming at organizations with an annual budget of $3.5 million or below

— Up to $75,000 for curators at organizations of all sizes hosting exhibitions that originated elsewhere

— Up to $50,000 for curatorial research and development–the earliest stages of a project

Successful applicants will additionally have the opportunity to be part of our Climate Action for Curators program, which offers additional funding and coaching support for curators to embed climate planning into their work.

Find complete guidelines and instructions for how to apply on our website. If you still have questions, don’t miss our online information sessions on December 5, 2024, and January 12, 2025, both at 3:00 pm EST.
